Kobe is my favorite player today, but I am not delusional either. It's a clear cut FACT that Michael Jordan is the greatest player to ever play the game. But there is no way you can diminish Kobe's accomplishments either and he has earned his name in the Top 10, even if he isn't Top 10. He's still Top 15 which is a pretty damn good accomplishment.
